Coming soon to a perfume store near you! This is the only Clarkia that is scented & boy is it a great scent! It’s so lovely, the fragrance is being developed in the perfume industry! It’s such a cute plant, too! The pendulous red buds of this annual open to vibrant pink flowers & and the petals are fringed but line up to form an overall square shape. Flowers April through June & gets to be about 8” tall & 1’ wide. Found on dry slopes of California, so provide good drainage. Should reseed.
